Introduction to Recipe Manager… What is Recipe Manager? Recipe Manager is an application designed for total food product data management. It is designed to track detailed information at all product levels from individual ingredients to final production. It is a tool for the micro-management of product food costs, nutrition, and all associated data starting with the vendor raw materials to the final products used in menus, production schedules, or other recipes. Any operation from the independent chef or caterer to the multi- location food production enterprise can utilize the system for a number of detailed management tasks to manage the operation with precision and extreme accuracy.

Inventory Introduction The importance of the “inventory” side of data and how Recipe Manager tracks it… Inventory is tracked at the moment it is USED to make product Accurate WASTE is tracked by the kitchen, not by sales Purchases become additions to stock when a PO is received Sales deduct final goods stock Sales and customer orders can be used to forecast the amount to prepare on a daily basis (production scheduling) Production planning is done to forecast stock re-ordering Allow the POS to do what it does best – Track Sales! Allow Recipe Manager to control production levels of product!

Note: it is important to properly set up your inventory Categories, Locations, and Physical Units (the “Lists”) Inventory How does this work? Can be stocked for use in recipes Can be a recipe itself Can be marked for sale Each item…

Inventory Unit Conversions Some good on-line references… NOTE: Standard units are already defined in Universal Conversions (Elements List) – however all non-standard units must be defined within each item

Inventory Conversions Tab… NOTE: Conversions are based on your recipes and how you use quantities verses how you receive your goods. Cases, packages, containers, etc will be described as example 1 case = 36 lbs (see image).

Inventory Conversions Tab…

If your recipes will have volume (gallons, cups, tablespoons, etc.) and counts (each) you will need to add volume/count conversions based on yields of individual items per case/pound. Inventory Conversions Tab Notes… If your item uses liquid volume (fl oz), but your recipe calls for mass (oz), you will need a unit conversion. The system can not go from mass to volume, for example, without a conversion.
